Allow Custom 3D Print Utility to be a .bat file

Hello Fusion360 team,

 

First of all, thanks for the great product and for making it available for makers as it is my go-to tool for modeling for my 3d printer.

Can you please, please, please, allow to select a .bat file in the "Send to  3D Print Utility" -> Custom ? I feel so stupid that the open dialog filter only allows you to select a .exe file (at least on windows). There's no filter for "All files *.*" as most applications do, and if not possible, can you at least allow execution on .bat files?

 

I have a superslicer .bat file that have a few parameters (for example loading my printer profile from a different directory) and I cannot use it with Fusion360. Everytime I need to save a STL file and import the STL file in superslicer, just because it seems someone thought it is a good idea to limit only to '.exe' files. 

 

Even if I configure superslicer to allow a single instance, it will not re-use the existing one with proper profiles because it seems fusion360 spawns a new one anyways (which afaik is a minor issue, if I only could use a bat file). If not possible and for whatever reason it really needs to invoke a .exe file, can you allow the user to specify its parameters?

 

(and no, renaming the .bat file to .exe doesn't work).

 

Thanks
